Need advice!

Ds is about 2 months old, and wakes up 6 or 7 times in the middle of the night. He doesn't wake to eat, he wakes because he needs reassurance that I'm still here. Usually I pick him up, and within 30 seconds he's back asleep.
He started off sleeping in his pnp just fine, then he just wanted to be held all the time and I put him in our bed because that's the only way he'd sleep. Now he's back in his pnp, for over a week, and he wakes multiple times looking for me.
Should I go back to bed sharing, or keep him in his pnp in our room and hope he gets used to it?
When we bed shared, he only woke up to eat, and could fall back asleep on his own easily.

Re: Need advice!
It's a personal choice, but generally I'd rather bedshare than get up and put LO down more than 3x. That's kind of my limit as far as that goes. Kids go through periods of waking up more and then less, and both of mine have moved in and out of my bed at various points in time. I don't stress about it a whole lot and just try to do what gets us all the most sleep.
